Turtle Beach Corporation Elite Membership Program

Regarding the Elite Membership program:

The purchase of any Elite gaming headset includes the opportunity to enroll in the Turtle Beach Elite Membership Program. Member benefits include discounts on Turtle Beach products and partner products and services, two-year extended product warranty, early access to news and product information, concierge service and a range of unique, member-only opportunities at Major League Gaming (MLG) tournaments and other industry events. The Turtle Beach Elite Program is only available to participants who reside in markets where Turtle Beach Elite products are sold. Additionally, specific program benefits vary by market and will also be subject to local restrictions.

“The Turtle Beach Elite Membership Program is an exclusive offering for tournament professionals and competitive gamers,” said Bob Picunko, Chief Marketing Officer at Turtle Beach Corporation. “The Elite program will offer a range of benefits and access to unique gaming-related opportunities.”

This new Elite membership program seems to be geared more towards professional gamers, though there are some benefits for competitive or even less serious gamers too.

Several of the standout headsets announced include:
